Ex-Clipper Marcus Morris Sr. arrested on fraud charge. Brother, agent say matter has been overblown

Former NBA player Marcus Morris Sr. was arrested Sunday at a Florida airport on a warrant out of Nevada and is facing a fraud charge, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The Times.

According to the booking report, Morris was picked up at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for the felony of writing a check with insufficient funds. He was held without bond at the Broward County main jail and had an extradition hearing scheduled for Monday, according to the county’s Clerk of Courts website.

Morris’ twin brother, fellow veteran NBA player Markieff Morris, suggested Sunday on X (fomerly Twitter) that the situation had been overblown and that his brother would have more to say on the matter shortly.
